SACO — The Portland Junior Pirates 98/99 Selects ice hockey team, coached by former Boston University captain Doug Friedman, is off to a 3-0 start this season in the Valley Hockey League of Massachusetts, outscoring opponents 31-2 in just three games. The "parity" round of the Valley Hockey League is designed to find teams of similar skill level to play against each other for the regular season. With wins of 6-1 over the Wizards, 7-0 over Haverhill/Pentucket, and an 18-1 pounding of Newton, it is likely the Junior Pirates will move divisions quickly.
